Vedclass · Answer

(B) In biological nomenclature, the genus name is a single word (e.g., $Mangifera$ in $Mangifera 	ext{ } indica$). This is why the term 'genus' is considered a single term.Reason $-R$ is also true because a genus can contain multiple species (e.g., $Panthera$ includes $Panthera 	ext{ } leo$ and $Panthera 	ext{ } tigris$), and the species name (specific epithet) is often a single word but can be part of a binomial name.However, the reason provided does not explain why the genus name is a single term; it merely describes the relationship between genus and species. Therefore, both are true, but the reason is not the correct explanation.
